300k BlackJacks Sold - Data Service Gains

It is being reported that in the three months that the Samsung BlackJack has been available in the United States, that 300,000 have been sold so far. You can get a little bit more info on this news here.

That to me sounds like a big number for this type of phone (i.e. Smartphone, PDA, etc.) and it can only be good news. I am sure that Cingular is excited about the response that the BlackJack has received.

I also saw another article that owes some of it's good news to this larger number of BlackJack sales: Surging Demand for Data Services Drive Cingular’s Impressive Gains

Many people purchased their BlackJacks from Cingular along with the data plan so they could take advantage of a phone rebate. You can see how the first and second article are definitely related.
